Well, in Turkey I’ve learned something very important. I can celebrate Christmas whenever I want, because… I simply can.

It’s January – so what? Turks still have Christmas trees and lights (find out more about Christmas in Turkey), and that’s actually my another very favourite thing about Turkey. Christmas in January.

Come on, guys, we have such an amazing winter time, and what it would be without Christmas lights, songs and books?

I found this one at library’s British section. The Christmas Snowman by Diane Sherman was illustrated by Sharon Kane and published in 1977. The story’s about a snowman who wanted to be a Christmas snowman (kinda perfect book for people who live in January and want to live in Christmas January), and about animals who helped him to be Christmassy.

Don’t you just love fall at your place? I do, that’s why I have decided to create this autumn decoration for my candleholder. Actually, it’s just jar. Nevermind. :) I was inspired by Czech Dekor magazine that was published in August. Do you want to decorate your jar/candleholder easily? You’re at right place!

You will need:

rosehips

needle

fine wire

pincer

Ready? So, take a rosehip and pierce it with a needle. This process is very important because later you will put the fruit on the fine wire effortlessly. Do the same with every rosehip you have. Done? Now thread the fine wire through rosehips. If it’s too long, cut it with your pincer.

Ta-da! You have your autumn decoration! :) It looks like a bracelet, doesn’t it? You like it? Put it on your very favourite place, so you can see it every day all the gorgeous fall time. Have a beautiful autumn!
